Unilever House in HafenCity
From 2007 to 2009, Behnisch Architekten built the Unilever House on Strandkai in Hamburg’s HafenCity. It stands next to the well-known Marco Polo Tower. The six floors also get plenty of light inside thanks to a glass-roofed atrium. The futuristic building was given the name Air Mattress. The outer skin is reinforced with ETFE film to keep wind and weather off the building.
